We were behind 200 points 3 minutes before end...so too late to do anything about it (any game takes longer than that)...in the last 20 seconds or so one of our members won a PVP match (which i assume was already running)...and tied the score.

I played a couple PVEs before leaving for work and saw other members scoring points...i guess members from both platoons chimed in as both rose in score in the last minutes...

The odd part...we were rated SECOND in the ranking after tied (no idea why...perhaps the tie breaker is overall score)...BUT i also got only the 3rd place prize (officer pack).

Of course...fair would be to give both platoons the 2nd place prize...not the 3rd!!!

Although is too late to fix this, we are looking into it for future cases, since as you mention the most logical would be to give 2nd place rewards instead of 3rd, as soon as I have more information about how we will be resolving this situations in the future, I will let you know.
